May we never forget that freedom isn't free. Today we give our deepest gratitude to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. As we honor those we have lost, we also recognize the important role our military plays as a conservation partner. Covering approximately 27 million acres of land, our nation’s military bases help support ecologically important habitats. One great example is Fort Riley, a five-square-mile Army base in the Flint Hills of Kansas. In addition to the Army’s First Infantry Division, Fort Riley hosts a population of greater prairie-chickens, which, like other grassland-obligate species, thrive in treeless grasslands. In this Ask an Expert, WLFW-supported researcher Caleb Roberts discusses how spatial targeting can be used to safeguard critical lek locations that become abandoned when pressured by woody expansion.

#EstatePlanning 💼 Is more than just paperwork—it's about securing your legacy, protecting your loved ones, and ensuring your wishes are honored. 🛡️ For veterans, this can include creating a will, setting up a trust to safeguard assets, naming guardians for minor children, and establishing healthcare directives to outline your medical preferences. This week, VLI Board Member and volunteer attorney Sheila-Marie Finkelstein, Esq., LLM, MEd, with Klinedinst PC, shared her expertise during the California Department of Veterans Affairs Transition Assistance Program webinar, emphasizing why estate planning is essential for transitioning service members and their families. ▶If you're a veteran, planning your estate isn't just about preparation—it's about peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

At Hiring Our Heroes, under the leadership of Eric Eversole we have been committed to fostering strong connections between military communities and local economies to address the unique challenges of transitioning service members and military spouses. Recently, Eric Eversole, Melissa Sanderson and Jenny Lynne Stroup headed to Louisiana in collaboration with local chambers, Bossier Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce and The Boot to identify solutions through chamber members coupled with national support. Each year, Louisiana experiences an average economic loss of $1.2 billion due to transitioning service members leaving the state. However, “The Boot” is determined to turn this loss into growth by providing service members with access to Louisiana’s economy, employers, and communities. Top discussions always include pathways to economic opportunity for military spouses, which is a key factor in retaining service members in the area. Together with partners in communities around the country, we’re building pathways for success and transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. #HiringOurHeroes #MilitarySpouseEmployment #TransitioningVeterans #EconomicGrowth #Louisiana https://lnkd.in/eCke_KUr
